battery performance w/ custom ROMs - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it generally accepted phenomenon that battery performance suffers with custom ROMs?
After having installed arrowOS 11 on xiaomi 9T pro the battery lasts crazy short time, we're talking sub-day.
Do I have to learn to live with it or are there some obvious configuration items I must've missed?

Bump.

Battery monitoring, other kernel, ROM or dead battery

Any particular kernels and/or ROMs that are known for being easier on the battery, off the top of your head?
Really doubt it's the battery itself, as prior to flashing the original MIUI lasted roughly a day easy.

[Q] Google now, battery monster?

Hello all,
I have a question for you all:
I have flashed a new rom today and have decided to NOT activate Google Now, and (after a few hours only), I seem to see a much better battery use?
Is it possible that this app, being monitoring so much all the time hoggs the battery quite a lot?
So, placebo effect or not?
Certainly possible I suppose, but I haven't noticed it drawing a significant amount of juice on my S3 or my Note 2.
I've had Now running in the background on my Note 2 for over 9 hours and the battery is still at 92% (minimal usage, just on WiFi), and while I'm getting tired of being notified about the ManU match, it doesn't seem to be drawing an inordinate about of power to run.
Is the new ROM you flashed using a different kernel or a newer revision of your previous kernel? In my experience, that's been the biggest factor in terms of power consumption.

Well, I am using temasek's CM10 Kang (70 I believe, latest anyway)
and with the kernel that came with it.
I ve tried other AOSP kernel, but no boot at all, so...
What I think is that XXDLIB modem does has a noticeable effect on good reception over here, so maybe that s the factor here?

Battery stats MIUI vs CM13 (RN3P)

Can someone tell me why on CM13 or any CM13 based rom is about 10h left of battery on 100% when on MIUI is about 3 days? People said that SOT is similar on both. (8-10h)
CM13 count it in different way?
Thank's

because battery stats on mobile are basically rubbish. Just gauge it based on your own usage. so many things will vary the stats, network strength, screen brightness, vibration strength etc.
Generally I find the battery lasts longer on debloated miui roms, but YMMV
Too big difference. 10h vs 3 days (72h), no way, need to be something more.

Well both are wild guess, on MIUI it is overestimation by OEM, while on CM it just a guess based on battery capacity and current draw. They'll get more accurate overtime, I'd say you need to use it for at least two weeks with normal usage, they'll be more similiar.

Same here for me.
about 2-3 days with stock miui
then only 10 hours with ResurrectionRemix which have issue with the processor.
I will try CM 12.1 by nahz if it's better or going back to stock rom

A case of being overwhelmed by choice (ROMs, Kernels, and more)

Hi guys,
I'm a new Poco user. I've checked out the forums and saw lots of ROMs, Kernels and even Recovery software. I'm a bit overwhelmed for the first time as I'm liking stock MIUI 10 for now. Can someone enlighten me on which ROM has the most features, what ROM is the most stable, which kernels go best with which?
Stability: BaikalOS, Pixel Experience
Powersave: BaikalOS
Customizability / Extra Features: Resurrection Remix, crDroid, Havoc-OS / POSP
Performance: Nitrogen OS, crDroid
Pixel Like: Havoc-OS, Pixel Experience
These are the ones I know but haven't tested all of them. Tell me if I'm missing any.

Wow thanks. Does BaikalOS have the app cloning feature? How good is the battery life compared to MIUI 10?
best kernels
Sphinx and Franco kernel
Best roms
Lineage and stock
Stock is of course the most stable, but the beta builds always have bugs they always remove settings add settings fix something break something.

It doesn't have the app cloning and battery life is a lot better if you manage the background apps strictly but you still have to install it and test it yourself.

There is no best rom or best kernel, it all comes down to personal preference...
Lineage Pie with Franco kernel.
..and go with pixel experience only if u r into very stock version which I think is overrated given its customization limitations.
I have always hated chinese ROMs or apps, take MIUI for example they have like hundreds of apps injected into core system (miui security, miui contacts, miui dialer, miui messaging, miui this that and what not...)

Do you know if Lineage OS has the signal issue fixed on it? I only really moved away from it because of that. Im on crDroid and my signal is much better now

Hey my fellow filipino , i am flashaholic and i loved cynogenmod until lineage16 very much ..but this im on stock open beta rom 9.1.24 which has Good battery life for gaming because i played a lot , no touch issue ever since day one my poco was one of the initial released manufacturing date was on july ,graphics is so smooth when playing pubg settings are HDR+extreme+60fps.. This rom has been tested very much by me.. by the way it's up to you buddy it's your decision.:good:

Hi fellow Flip! Yeah I went with Ambasidii rom based on stock MIUI since I need the cloned app feature for ROM (Slave priest). It's rooted and has derp kernel. Battery life is quite a lot better. I was redownloading all my apps overnight and it only drained about 7% of battery life which is 1% more than full stock on idle without WiFi.
By the way, do you do a battery recalibration once you switch roms? Standby time is fantastic on mine but it seems to drain a little harder while playing ROM compared to stock.

There's no need to recalibrated when switching roms. Recommended calibrating your battery ( each month or every three months )
android phones this days use lithium-ion (Li-ion) or lithium-polymer (Li-po) batteries for Poco F1 . This batteries don’t need to be fully discharged, and come with smart chips that make calibration unnecessary and that's the good thing for us.
Just want to share this method , i do this all the time after switching custom roms.
First, drain your phone’s battery completely. Don’t charge it at any point while it’s draining. Let the phone keep working till it shuts itself off. Once the phone has shut itself off, restart it so it shuts off again. Even though the battery was at 0 percent, it has a few reserves left. Now, while the phone is off, charge it to 100 percent. It’s safe to use quick chargers for this, but make sure you hit 100 percent. Once it’s fully charged, unplug it and boot your phone. Android might not say it’s at 100 percent, and that’s okay. In that case, plug the charger again and let it get to 100 percent. then unplug it. This cycle of full drain and recharging lets the chip calibrate its readings with the battery’s charge cycle.
hope that helps:good:

Idle drain issues on custom ROMs

Hello all,
I tried all the custom ROMs available and they seem to have a high idle drain. I am loosing usually 10-20% per day which is extremely high in my opinion.
The Paranoid Android and Arter97's software collection seems to be slightly better but that is Android Pie based.
Is Android 10 the actual problem for the drain? Do you have any suggestions on how to fix it?
I never tried MIUI so I do not know how is the idle drain on the official OS but I had a Lenovo Tab 4 8" plus before and it was barely loosing 1% per day.
I hope I can find a good setup because at the moment there are not many options for a good 8" tablet. Even the Mediapad M6 8.4" is not produced anymore.
Any feedback is welcome. Thanks!
Edit: I forgot to mention that I use f2fs partitions on data and cache. I am not sure if that could cause any issue but on other devices I never noticed battery drain because of it.

yes. I'm facing same issue too. performance is owesome but idle battery got problem. have been try all android 10 for clover. all of them have the same issue . I don't think android 10 causes the problem because my lavender on miui android 10 battery life very good.
Turning off wifi works for me. When I do not need the device I just turn it off and the battery lasts much longer then when idle. have not really looked into it but I guess it is related to data usage or device not going to "deep" sleep
Yes, I had this issue with many custom roms, except Carbon rom. I've been running Carbon rom since I found this rom didn't have that issue, though it has less features than most of other roms

Yup, I second that. Also using carbon rom and idle drain is good
If you're using magisk then v20.4 have higher battery drain during idle. Try v20.3

Mi9 cepheus SOT (screen on time) ROM battle

Hi guys
I wanna find out which ROM has the best battery consumption with a smooth system.
I'm now on
Havoc 4.3 / 2 years old heavy used mi9 256gb transparent edition / some sys apps freezed / some changings in build.prop / automatic brightness with velis autobrightness
SOT 7 hours in a cycle from starting with 90% charged (using smart charge) used to 3% = 87% consumption in 36 hours
It would be good if you post also the base of your phone.
No one with better values ?

It's useless. You should really test all the ROMs yourself, as our usage differs, our network differs, our ambient temperature differs and so on and they all contribute to battery life or as you expect, SOT.

Hmmm useless?
Ok, I respect your opinion.
In my opinion it's not useless and hopefully for others too, because the main thing is the ROM for overall SOT.
As substantiation the SOT 2 years ago with new phone and Miui factory settings was at the highest value around 3 hours and now I've got 6 hours. Also if I add the ambient temperatures and light and different app using.... the overall SOT now with my old phone is much better as delivered and so the reason is the havoc rom.
It's useless because it can cause misleading conclusion.
There's no such a thing as overall SOT for everybody at least without perfect comparison (i.e. you list all your phone age, apps, settings and usage pattern) with previous ROM you use.
Even if your experience above is true, there's no guarantee it will happen to me as well if I also change ROM. For starters, my MIUI EU ROM ever since I had this phone 1.5 years ago has always been around 5-6 hours SOT. That one alone is already different from you, right? I would be very misled if I think "oh, this person can jump its SOT from 3 hours to 6 by using havoc ROM, so if I follow him I could get 10-12 hours, or at least 8-9 hours". Don't get me wrong, ROM does have influence to battery life, at least if the developer do some low level optimizations, better if at kernel level, but still assuming one person's experience can be reproduced by others, is a no go.
My best experience is with stable xiaomi.eu, 12.0.6 at the moment, and about 20 frozen MIUI and Google apps. I test and use custom roms from time to time, but never had better SOT than with xiaomi.eu and the same package of apps.
Miui 11 xiaomi deboated .eu 2 years of use

Xiaomi programmed obsolescence on battery
H, since I updated from miui 10 to miui 11 and even now that I have miui 12 I have noticed that the battery doesn't last as long as before. I state that since I purchased the phone (July 2019) I have always charged the battery in the best way...
